Abstract
ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between diagnosis of atypical endometrial hyperplasia in a curettage sample and the final pathological result after hysterectomy. Material and methodsThere were 33 patients who fulfilled the criteria for inclusion in this study. Clinical records were reviewed to identify clinical, histopathological and treatment data. ResultsAdenocarcinoma was found in four (12.12%) of the 33 surgical specimens from hysterectomy. Endometrial hyperplasia was found in 28 specimens, although 12 (36.3%) of these specimens showed no atypia. No endometrial hyperplasia or signs of any other tumor were found in one specimen. ConclusionsAfter pathological findings of atypical endometrial hyperplasia, the next step should be to perform hysterectomy. Given the major risks of delaying or not performing surgery for a possible concomitant endometrial cancer, which can be treated and cured, the risk of overtreating some patients is acceptable.
